Some of these really sharp cold fronts have pretty limited moisture. I got more like a tenth here.

From 72 to 49 all before it's dark. Dayum!

Another chilly clipper next week as well.

Wow! One of the craziest shifts from strong offshore flow to strong onshore flow I've seen. Nearly 20 degree plunge already at Shelton in the middle of the day and strong SW winds here after east all day. Nice 850mb plunge with this as well.

Pretty enjoyable pattern overall. Some places have actually chalked up three consecutive freezing mins in spite of the warm days. IMBY I had two which is only the second time this century I've seen back to back freezing mins after April 15. Going forward things look kind of similar although not quite as cold with the nights.

Looks like I can post again! My account got messed up big time for some reason.

This pattern is just an absolute turd sandwich. Now the warm mins are keeping the daily averages above normal and the mountains continue to hemorrhage snow pack.

The ENSO plunge is really underway now. Major cold upwelling along the coast of South America spreading westward.

Conflicting reports!

I'm sure you've had a few like that this year already.

I don't think explains the drought declaration though. Drought is based on how much precip actually falls.

Wow! I was looking through the record highs for SEA for March and April and had totally forgotten about the heat blast in April 2016. 4 consecutive 80+ with a peak of 89 on the 18th. That could be as nuts as June 2021 for the date.

The GFS just has fits when there is a low off to the SW when a trough is evolving.

Such incredible uniformity.

Incredible day. Just so totally comfortable outside. Some places could actually drop into the 30s again tonight though. 72/36 IMBY today.
